Nevertheless, those made in jest--though this is a stupid thing to do--shouldn't warrant four years in the pen, maybe some time or just a heavy fine but not substantial jail time.

Thank you for sharing. I feel four years is way too lenient. Stupidity should be a crime, heavy duty stupidity warrants heavy duty jail time. There. I've shared my equally valid opinion.

I've shared my equally valid opinion.

That you have. Please understand that I never state--nor even think--that my opinions trump those of others in any way. I hope that I do not come across that way.
